Someone sounds optimistic about this:

Find a jab for the winter vomiting bug. Now THAT's worth a Nobel Peace Prize for sciencific discovery.

That would have protected many people this winter. There's a lot of flu around as many have been struck down with it.

Whoa how freaky is that? Thats sounds like the plot to I Am Legend. If you seen the movie that one was about cancer...Then no one saw it coming.

Sorry to bring a downer on this but it scares me.

Saving 500,000 people a year means an extra 10,000,000 people in 20 years.....and then there's their children.

You can't get the builders in to make an extra bedroom for the planet Earth.

All a load of bollocks I'm afraid. The virus would almost certainly re-invent itself and get round any such jab. And would particularly do so if we went for the 'mass vaccination' that this seems to suggest. Mass vaccination simply doesn't work and in a rationed system such as the NHS we should always give vaccinations to those that need it most.

Yeah but Sam dont forget the government looks at that figure as potential tax payers and money flowing into the economy.

Besides there is still plenty of land across Britain anyway. A lot more areas to use as future cities like Milton Keynes.

And given the rise of obesity situation I hardly reckon we'll be short of food. If anything there is still an enormous amount being wasted.

I was thinking more on the lines of space.

Sure we have land, but I like countryside, not more concrete.

They keep morphing where ever you have the wrong conditions in existence

Looking at the world theres plenty of cope for something worse than whats currently on the menu

Its like someone saying heres 1 pill to meet all your bodies requirements for the next month.

I'll believe it when I see it

It's why flu is so deadly: it keeps evolving.

Just as well, really. It and the cold bug saved our bacon during the Martian invasion in the early part of the last century
